So has there been any update? We passed by on Sunday and there was no sign of activity. I am not surprised!
An analogy for Irish architects nowadays could be : A carpenter sent to repair the engine of a jumbo jet!!…architects may boo-hoo but in fairness your credibility is well and truly in doubt if you continue to build ***** buildings with ***** materials! Attention must be paid to the surrounding environment and the people using these spaces.Planners beware I could be very insulting.If you sent drugged antelopes on a mission to create cycle paths ( the few that do exist ) how can you be responsible for any greater project?
As a lover of that dirty building for years, I must say it has scrubbed up nicely. Perhaps it is a bit too clean! Even so I guess with the amount of traffic passing by that won’t be for long. The buildings in Trinity were cleaned in the last decade and have accumulated a nice crust of dirt since…Does anyone know of any pictures in it’s original newly built state? Was the building that colour originally? If only someone would push for restoring the glorious facades above the neon in Westmoreland Street. They represent a gorgeous microcosm of european styles and are ignored….pity really!
